The time has finally come for you all to enjoy the fruits of our labor, the release version of our 1.20 Ming Update.
Please do not report any issues with the update in this thread, instead post proper bug reports in our bug report forum.
Thank you!
And as usual, you should not load up any games started in 1.19.x in version 1.20. This will cause issues and unpleasant surprises. Especially if you are achievement hunting in Ironman, this will be a big problem for you. If you wish to finish any ongoing games, then please do so in 1.19.2. You can find instructions on how to play on a previous version here!
Enjoy!
